CAP is focused on developing products and services that increase effectiveness in the government&#8217;s acquisition process by leveraging the cloud for enhanced performance, data sharing, and service delivery; all with an eye towards helping agencies buy smarter to meet their core missions.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GSA, which is solely responsible for service provisions under agreement with Distributed Solutions Inc. of Reston, Virginia, will handle security accreditation as well as ongoing operations and maintenance of CWSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
